One angle I've found works on non-techie, management, owner-types is
this: Postgresql is the closest thing to open source Oracle out there
right now. We could, and in the deeper db trenches should, go through a
feature-by-feature comparison for more specifics but in the end, the
features and cost savings Postgres brings vs. MySQL, Oracle, Foxpro,
etc. is just too good to be passed up.
